​St Brigid's students enjoy air-conditioned comfort in our bright and welcoming automated resource centre. They have access to a varied selection of fiction books catering for their ages and interests. Staff offer guidance and rec​ommendations to students whilst encouraging them to develop responsibility in their choice of books. The wide collection of quality curriculum related non-fiction and reference resources play a vital role in the development of students as independent lifelong learners.

St Brigid's Resource Centre actively promotes a love of literature by involving various classes in a number of activities throughout the year. These include book talks, a Book Fair, Book Week celebrations, a character parade, author visi​​ts, MS Readathon, Gold Coast Reader's Cup, attending the Somerset Celebration of Literature, Book Club and visiting the local library.

Childre​​n can visit the centre during 2nd break to read for leisure, play board games, educational computer games or do school related internet research.

We hav​​e a loyal group of parent volunteers who help with Book Club and book covering. We welcome any parents who wish to be involved in their school.

Borro​​wing

Children have the opportunity to borrow books during the scheduled class visiting time or during 2nd break each day. Teachers als​​o allow students additional opportunities to borrow. If children wish to borrow they must have a library bag or pillow case with a plastic bag or plastic lining inside them to protect books from water damage.
